Over the next few days, Li Churan gradually closed in and finally obtained a large number of weapons, which can be described as getting something without any effort.

It was only at this moment that Wang Si realized Li Churan's true scheming nature. From the moment Li Churan agreed to take them in, he had already calculated their value and was ready to squeeze every last drop of value out of them.

But what's done is done, and it's too late to regret it now.

After acquiring a large number of weapons and supplies, Li Churan began preparing to attack Ye Ning's shelter.

While gathering information on Yi Lin and Xiao Jingchen, he also trained the people at the base.

Just as he was making preparations, he unexpectedly encountered an ally.

Xinyuan Group.

That day, Li Churan suddenly received a letter, which was sent by Zhou Haiyuan of Xinyuan Group.

The letter expressed the intention to form an alliance with him to deal with Ye Ning and Xiao Jingchen.

It turns out that during this period, Zhou Haiyuan had used swift and decisive methods to dismantle all the forces within Xinyuan Group that were at odds with him.

The remaining people were either his original die-hards or those who were so frightened by his methods that they dared not cause any more trouble.

Now that the internal conflicts have been resolved, it is time for him to take revenge on the external enemies.

Ye Ning and Xiao Jingchen were the first to be affected.

Ever since Qi Ke'er died, the tragic scene and sorrowful eyes she had before her death have kept appearing in Zhou Haiyuan's dreams, frightening him so much that he could not sleep peacefully every night.

Even though he constantly indulged in wine and women or sought help from metaphysics, he still could not break free.

Instead of attributing everything to his own ruthlessness, he blamed it all on Ye Ning and Xiao Jingchen.

If he hadn't suffered a crushing defeat when he attacked the shelter, he wouldn't have been blamed by Zhou Guichuan, giving Zhou Haiji an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

If it weren't for Xiao Jingchen taking over the fishing grounds along the coastline, he wouldn't have been besieged by Zhou Haiji, and in his anger and frustration, he would have done such a thing.

So it's all Ye Ning and Xiao Jingchen's fault.

Two days later, Li Churan and Zhou Haiyuan had their formal meeting.

"Mr. Li! I've heard so much about you! Actually, we've met before, but we haven't had the chance to have a deeper conversation!" Zhou Haiyuan was wearing a gray suit. Although he wasn't as dashing as Li Churan, he was still clean-cut and handsome.

“Mr. Zhou, I’ve long admired your name! Xinyuan Group is a renowned name in City A. It’s just a pity that I haven’t had the opportunity to discuss business with you before!” Li Churan also performed flawlessly.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two quickly got down to business.

“Mr. Li, let’s be frank. The purpose of my visit is to discuss cooperation with you!” Zhou Haiyuan spoke first. “I’ve heard about your past grievances with Ye Ning and Xiao Jingcheng. I think we should have a common goal.”

Li Churan remained noncommittal and continued listening to Zhou Haiyuan's eloquent speech.

“I’ve dealt with them before. Their strength was already considerable before the zombie outbreak, and it has continued to expand since then. Their strength is definitely only stronger now. It would take a lot of effort for any one of us to take them down alone.”

"Furthermore, I heard that Ye Ning is pregnant recently, and the internal defenses of the shelter are very lax. Now is the perfect time!"

"How about we cooperate? We'll each contribute half the manpower, and after we take it over, we'll split the resources 50/50. What do you think, Mr. Li?"

Li Churan frowned in thought, then looked up, her eyes sharp as an eagle's. "No problem! But I have one more request!"

"What are the requirements?" Zhou Haiyuan asked without hesitation.

“If we take the shelter, you can do whatever you want with the others, but Ye Ning, she has to be given to me!” Li Churan said, enunciating each word clearly.

Zhou Haiyuan was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, suddenly realizing Li Churan's intention.

"I never expected Mr. Li to be such a romantic. Don't worry, this woman is useless to me! I'll give her to you if I want to!"

“Then it’s a deal!” Li Churan extended her palm.

"It's a deal!" With a crisp clap of hands, the two formed an alliance.

As long as he can keep Ye Ning by his side, she will surely be moved by him again after a while.

Now that the alliance has been formed, the next step is to make preparations.

Therefore, Xinyuan Group and Li Churan began to frequently mobilize personnel to prepare for the attack on the shelter.

Ye Ning, you will finally belong to me again soon!

Meanwhile, Ye Ning was finally three months pregnant.

"Alright! Miss Ye Ning is now officially three months pregnant! She's entered a safe period!" Liu Yangyang glanced at the form in her hand and announced with a serious expression.

"Although we've reached the traditionally safe period, we can't let our guard down. We still need to be extra careful in everything we do!"

Although Liu Yangyang added something in her words, the atmosphere in the entire shelter became cheerful.

"Wang Ma! Cook extra dishes tonight! I want everyone in the shelter to celebrate Ye Ning's three-month pregnancy milestone!" Xiao Jingchen ordered excitedly.

"Alright, Jingchen, our baby is only three months old, is it really necessary to exaggerate like this?"

"Ye Ning, how can this be called an exaggeration? This is our child, and anything I do for him is worthwhile." Even before the child was born, Xiao Jingchen had already transformed into a loving old father.

“Miss! Young Master Jingchen is absolutely right. This is the next generation of our Ye family, the next master of our Ye family. This is a big deal, how can we be so casual about it?” This time, Wang Ma also began to side with Xiao Jingchen.
